Comfort Tyre

[chokia15]

Dear ZTH sifu,

I am looking for a comfortable daily drive tyre size 205/45/16. What tyre should I be looking at? Are continental CM5 good?

Thanks in advance.

Conti - MC5 I think u referring.
Btw, 205/45R16 is low profile tyre which wont give u comfort ride, unless u change to 195/55R16 or 205/55R16.

Bro. dkny, 205/45R16 to 195/55R16 is over 5% difference in overall diameter and to 205/55R16 is almost 7% difference woh! Can use?

What is the original tyre size of your car? Like what bro. dkny mentioned using 45 series aspect ratio you will not have much comfort difference in whatever tyres you use. Changing to higher aspect ratio will be better, but need to know your original tyre size.

According to OEM(mostly), 3%-5% different of overall diameter from OEM is acceptable, unless if u using TPMS, or Run-flat tyre.
In Chokia case, I believe second scenarios is not applicable for him.

Anyhow, Chokia, since u didn't mention your car model, I assume it was Satria Neo.

Most website I read, they recommend up to 3% only.
Most forum I read also recommend up to 3% only.

This is from GY website
To a car owner, knowing he biggest wheel size that can fit into a vehicle is very important. There is a simple rule, which is the upgraded wheel's diameter should not be larger than 3% of the original.

If you already have 16" rims, then keep to it. No point changing as you have to foot more out for 15" rims.
On 205/45R16, if you want comfort then Yokohama C-Drive 2 will be okay. Price posted around RM260 each. If want performance Michelin PS3 but those are about RM400 each.
If want budget tyres, then Achilles ATR Sports, I think below RM200.....

Stock size no issues. Is when you want to go to a smaller or bigger size than the stock size then the % is important to take note.

Never exceed 3% then u r safe. Above that is your own risk to take.

Is CD2 not SD2. S-Drive is another category loh.
MC5 and ZE-912 have some complaints already. If want Continental, then CPC2 will be better.

A-Drive R1 are directional. Good for durability but may be noisy.
